OS Therapies Incorporated (“OS Therapies” or the “Company”) (NYSE-A: OSTX), an Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) and Immunotherapy research and clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 1,600,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $4.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $6.4 million. Additionally, the Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 240,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any.

The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before estimated expenses of the offering payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $6.0 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to advance the clinical development of its product candidates – OST-HER2 and OST-tADC – and discover and develop new product candidates, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

OS Therapies’ lead product candidate, OST-HER2, is an innovative immunotherapy using a HER2 bioengineered form of the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) to trigger a strong immune response against cancer cells expressing HER2. This off-the-shelf treatment is designed to prevent metastasis, delay recurrence, kill primary tumors expressing HER2 and increase overall survival. Currently, the Company has fully enrolled a potentially pivotal Phase IIb clinical trial in recurred, resected osteosarcoma, dosing 41 patients with OST-HER2 at 21 clinical trial sites across the United States, with topline data expected in the fourth quarter of 2024 following the release of interim data in June 2024. OST-HER2 has received Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Fast Track and Orphan Drug Designations by the FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA). OS Therapies is seeking Breakthrough Therapy Designation for OST-HER2 for osteosarcoma from the FDA based on data from its Phase IIb clinical trial. Upon any Biologics Licensing Authorization (BLA) from the FDA for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma, the Company will be granted a Priority Review Voucher based upon the RPDD. OST HER2 has also completed a Phase 1 clinical trial primarily in breast cancer patients, in addition to strong preclinical data demonstrating efficacy on a standalone basis and in combination with HER2-targeting therapeutic antibodies such as Herceptin®.

OS Therapies is also developing OST-tADC, a proprietary next-generation Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) platform. This advanced technology incorporates pH-sensitive silicon-based linkers and coating, trademarked as SiLinkers™, which can release multiple therapeutic agents selectively within the tumor microenvironment, which experiences lower pH levels than the rest of the body. This approach aims to maximize the therapeutic effects while minimizing damage to healthy cells. OS Therapies has completed initial safety and efficacy proof of concept in various murine models of cancer.

The total addressable market for human osteosarcoma is estimated at $1.72 billion. The global market for ADCs is anticipated to reach $19.8 billion by 2028, according to data from MarketsandMarkets.

OS Therapies’ common stock is expected to begin trading on the NYSE American stock exchange tomorrow, Thursday, August 1, 2024, under the symbol “OSTX.” The public offering is expected to close on Friday, August 2, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

About Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is a solid tumor of the bone that predominantly occurs in children and young adults. It is an extremely challenging and often aggressive cancer that has particular treatment challenges due to its location, changing genotypes and high recurrence rates. Standard treatment includes surgery and chemotherapy. For patients with metastatic or recurrence after chemotherapy, there is a significantly poorer prognosis.
